Verin Shorzha (Armenian: Վերին Շորժա) is a village in the Vardenis Municipality of the Gegharkunik Province of Armenia. Verin Shorzha and the nearby Nerkin Shorzha are both reached by a short drive from Ayrk.[2]

History

[edit]

Originally, the village was completely Armenian. Azerbaijanis moved in around 1928, and left during the outbreak of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.[3]
